As an Irish expat living in Malaga, Spain, Tenerife is never too far away. A few weeks ago, I decided to spend my birthday exploring this beautiful island. Here I am, recording on site in Tenerife, telling you all about the trip - including my awesome lounge experience, the medical emergency on board requiring me to give up my seat, two beautiful accommodations, two cats, ZERO turtles, jumping off a mountain, and my very first time going to the bottom of the ocean.

I'm your host Kelly O'Brien, and this is These Corners of the World. Let me know what you think in the comments below, leave this podcast a review, or connect with me elsewhere:
